Start today by boarding a JR Yamanote Line train from Shinagawa Station to Ueno (18 mins) to visit the Ameyoko Ueno Markets. The long market lanes run from JR Ueno Station to JR Okachimachi Station. There are over 500 shops that sell everything from basic foods to high-class imported goods at reasonable prices, and thus it is always crowded with shoppers.
Ueno Park is also one of Japan's most crowded, noisy and popular cherry blossom viewing (hanami) locations. With its 1000+ cherry trees, Ueno Park turns a delicate shade of pink during the cherry blossom season; delighting picture snapping strollers and sake swigging merrymakers. (Admission is free / food stands are available)
Next, board a Tokyo Metro Ginza Line train to Asakusa Station (5 mins) to visit the nearby Sensoji Temple (popularly known as Asakusa Kannon Temple), Tokyo's oldest and most impressive temple which is said to have been founded in the 7th century. Nakamise Dori, the colourful shopping promenade, extends from Kaminarimon Gate to Hozomon Gate and is an excellent place to buy everything from kimono to traditional sweets. Only a few minutes' walk from Kaminarimon Gate is Sumida Park, where cherry blossom trees stretch a few hundred metres along both sides of the Sumida River. Hanami can also be enjoyed from boats that cruise the river. (Admission is free / food stands are available).
Return to Shinagawa Station from Ueno on the JR Yamanote Line. (18 mins)
Stay: Shinagawa Prince Hotel - 2/3
